Chapter 93: Chapter 91: It’s Not Over Even If You Beat Them to Death_1

“The eighteen layers of hell only exist in Fengdu and Taishan.”

Tingtian Ao explained, “Buddhism also has eighteen levels of hell and the perpetual hell, they’re all similar. They are used to grind down malevolent souls and eradicate the effects of evil karma. Our resources are limited, so we keep things simple.”

“So where do souls of regular people reside after death?” Li Xuan noticed lots of prisons and execution grounds outside the palace complex, which puzzled him.

Tingtian Ao looked at him strangely, “Of course they disappear after death! Cultivators like you have to reach The Third Door, condensing a Yuan Infant, to be able to travel outside the body in Shenpo form; not to mention the souls of ordinary people.”

“Don’t be fooled by those fictional tales purely imagined by the mundane. The Underground is actually a prison used to detain the souls and evil spirits with strong obsessions, therefore it’s also referred to as ‘Hell’ or ‘Netherworld Prison’.”

“Of course, there are some people who were born with a powerful Shenpo. Even with shallow obsessions, their souls can sustain after death. These people are usually recruited under the command of our deity and become Yeyoushen or ghost messengers.”

After hearing this, Li Xuan was in disbelief: “What about reincarnation? The cycle of birth and death? The Mengpoe soup?”

“Reincarnation, the cycle of rebirth, and transcendence, are terms used in Buddhism. But their followers must first be born in bliss. Those who are capable of achieving this bliss are usually those with a naturally powerful Shenpo. According to Buddhism, those are the individuals with good roots. As for transcendence, it’s basically being spared from the tortures in the Underground. Watch out——”

At that moment, Tingtian Ao suddenly warned, gazing ahead alertly. Li Xuan then saw two massive hands, each the size of half an acre, suddenly reaching out from the dark void, tearing open a ‘chasm’ on the street before him.

Next, a gigantic head emerged from the ‘chasm’, sweeping its gaze around with its singular eye. Its gaze soon locked onto Li Xuan, the two cold fires flickered within its pupils.

Li Xuan was surprisingly calm, “What is this? A Cyclops? An Ogre?”

A monster from a western game has appeared in the eastern world? Is that torn chasm a portal?

“An Ogre? You mean a Giant Cannibal Witch?”

Xue Yunrou looked at Li Xuan with confusion, “No, you’re mistaken. This is a Mountain Spirit corrupted by the spawn of evil.”

While they were talking, the chasm grew larger and larger. A massive giant, thirty feet high, squeezed itself in. It stepped on the ground, demolishing nearby ‘houses’ with every step it took.

Then Li Xuan saw dozens of evil spirits of various shapes running out of the damaged houses. They had all twisted themselves to vanish instantly from this underworld. Those who did not escape in time were caught on the spot by dark hooks shooting down from the sky.

At this time, the giant reached right in front of Li Xuan. The cold fire burned in its cyclops-like eye and its massive hand reached down from above.

Li Xuan felt his scalp tingle. He was about to perform the ‘Unsettling Divine Thunder’ to dodge when he heard a thunderous shout from a distance, “You insolent creature, how dare you run wild!”

A burly figure emerged, a whirlwind of darkness around him. He too swell up, growing as tall as the Mountain Spirit. He swung his ax and cut off half of the Mountain Spirit’s arm.

It was a giant that resembled a deity called ‘Li Xin’ who was served alongside Chenghuang in the Duchenghuang Temple.

While Li Xuan sighed with relief, he retreated a safe distance. Is this where all those evil spirits in Nanjing City were coming from recently?

He asked as soon as the question formed in his mind but Tingtian Ao just sighed, “What else? Most of these evil spirits originate from chaotic times and past dynasties. They have been sealed and confined here and we have not yet had the chance to purify and eradicate them.”

Li Xuan did not understand why it had to be so complicated. Why not just kill them? Do they serve any purpose?

But this time he didn’t need to ask; he found the answer in his memory.

This was something recorded in the Book of Liudao Fumo, one of the few things remembered by his original self.

The reason they did not kill these evil spirits was related to the concept of ‘Karma’ in Buddhism.

It was the resentment, greed, envy, and so on of all creatures in the world, condensed into a nefarious and filthy energy. At the same time, it was also the source of power for many evil spirits and fierce demons, as it was the root of their existence.

Therefore, from the moment these evil spirits were formed, they were closely related to Karma. The stronger they were, the more Karma they possessed.

Killing these evil spirits was easy, but it was hard to eliminate Karma. They wouldn’t just disappear, but rather, they would aid in the creation of new evil spirits and demons after dissipating.

Therefore, confining and sealing them away was the best method. The Karma of the world, although growing every day, ultimately had a certain limit, an amount which seemed to be closely related to population size.

The logic of the Liudao Division and the Underground was that as long as you locked up the evil spirits with a lot of Karma, the harm of Karma in the world would be reduced accordingly.

That’s why the Underground had eighteen levels of hell, and the Liudao Division built four massive Demon Towers, each in a different cardinal direction.

The upper-level members of the Liudao Division are more encouraged to capture the soul rather than directly slay the spirits when exorcising them.

But that seems to be a tough task. Subduing evil spirits and directly eradicating them carry entirely different levels of risk.

For example, Li Xuan’s team was asked to seal away several powerful evil spirits of the sixth house level – wasn’t this a challenging task?

It was a great accomplishment for them to be able to slay and eradicate those spirits. As for where all the Karma went and what kind of consequences would follow, they didn’t care.

Tingtian Ao, sounding aggrieved, said, “So, people all over the world respect and admire the Liudao Division for slaying demons and exterminating monsters. But they don’t realize that the hardest job actually falls to our master and the numerous city gods. How many evil spirits and fierce demons has your Liudao Division locked up in the four Demon Towers? Half of them are even of the demon species——”

As Li Xuan was listening to this, several damp tentacles suddenly sprung up from the ground beneath him and lunged at him. Luckily, Li Xuan was vigilant and quickly leaped into the air, jumping to a height of twenty zhang, escaping the reach of the tentacles.

Li Xuan noticed in this underworld, his physical qualities, Zhenyuan, and abilities seemed to have been greatly amplified. If he were in the mortal realm, he would only be able to jump two zhang in place.

Looking back down, he saw that a spirit shaped similarly to a parrot conch had stretched out several tentacles and was still chasing him.

A light bulb went on in Li Xuan’s mind, an idea emerged. Without hesitation, he put the idea into action. Immediately, he drew his waist knife, wrapped Ice Power around it, and launched a fierce attack against one of the chasing tentacles.

Bang!

With the sound of striking leather, a blast of icy mist scattered, and Li Xuan was like a cannonball being shot away into the distance. But that ‘parrot conch’ creature had one of its tentacles frozen solid by Li Xuan’s strike, and the extreme Cold Power quickly spread upwards, so much so that the parrot conch was frozen under a thin layer of ice.

Xue Yunrou, who’d also sprung into the air, watched this with her eyes wide open, seeming a bit taken aback by Li Xuan’s forceful Cold Power.

They’d only been parted for a few days, and he’d already advanced in his Cold Power to this extent? It even seemed to contain some Cold Evil?

After that, she stretched out her hand forward, and in an instant, a purplish-blue thunder dragon bore out from her palm, blasting into the parrot conch, who was cracking through the ice layer. With the blast of thunderous light, this demon’s body was instantly blasted apart.

Then came the flames. Purplish-blue flames bred from inside the ‘parrot conch’, and quickly spread outwards. Within moments, the evil spirit was burnt into a torch. It happened so quickly that it didn’t even have time to let out a shriek.

“Tsk, tsk! That combo of Palm Thunder followed by a blast of fire, you’re indeed worthy of being the niece of that man, the most outstanding external disciple of the Heavenly Master Mansion in recent years.”

Although Tingtian Ao expressed his admiration, he didn’t even glance at Xue Yunrou. Instead, he focused his attention on Li Xuan: “I haven’t seen you for a few days, and your Cold Power has already seen such improvement. Was that Cold Evil just now? Moreover, it’s close to the Frozen Cold. When did you cultivate that?”

That ‘parrot conch’ was a sixth house level evil spirit. If it wasn’t for Li Xuan’s blade freezing the spirit for a moment, even though Xue Yunrou’s cultivation was also at the sixth house level, she wouldn’t have been able to kill it so effortlessly.

Li Xuan, on the other hand, was staring at the waist knife in disbelief, wondering how effective his Cold Power was in the underworld.
